He was tall, lanky young fellow
with watery blue eyes. faded hair. and
mustache which looked like a streak
Of red paint. From head to foot he
was attired in store clothes. and but
for very pronounced expression OF
anxiety on his face he might have
passed for jolly young farmer seeing
the city. In his arms were half a
dozen bundles, and beside him stood
pretty young woman, who wore over a
silk dress plush cloak of. fashionable
make and Cleveland lat. The color
on her cheeks was suggestive of long
acquaintance with country air. 1t was
plain as a whitcwashed fence that they
had but recently been married. They
stood on the corner of Clark and Madi-
son streets and watched the cars 20 by
for few moments. and then he said,
with little cough Of Importance:
''Well, Sarey. l reckon we'll git or

'why don't farmers run for Con.
gressT' They run so much keeping
boys out Of their peach orchards and
melon patches they don't have any time
to run after any thing else. If Con.
gress should run after farmers. one
might be caught now and then. Law
yers can brat farmers ut running for
most any thing. know a farmer who
tried to run a line fence according to
his notion. The other man objected
and hurt the farmer. The farmer hired
a lawyer to run his line fence. and now
the lawyer runs the farmers farm and
the farmer has stopped running any
thing. Speaking of running reminds
me of our calf that ran away to the
woods. There were not enough men in
the county to catch that calf. We
turned the old cow loose into the woods
and she caught the calf. proving the
old saying that it takes thief to catcl,

THE HUMAN HAND.

4 Nice Iittle Lecture for Boys and Girls
and Some Old Folks, Too.
Young people have great deal Of
trouble with their hands. and commit
many faults with them. When they 60
upon the platform 10 speak piece.
they know not what to do with those
troublesome and superfuous append
ages, unless some good teacher of elo-
cutiOn has told them; and then it il
hard to obey his injunction to ''let
them alone"
Just to let them hang quietly and
naturally by the side most Of the time,
is very difficult for a tyro. A boys inn
pull is to get hold Of his coat. tumble
with his watch-chain, or make gestures
which add no force to his words. An
old teacher Of elocution has given this
excellent rule: when your hands
have nothing to do. do nothing with
them; let them hang"
Some boys, yes. and some girls, too.
have a world of trouble in keeping
their hands clean. Probably, on this
very day. in the United States. one hun
dred thousand mothers have spoken
words like these. in various to es:
johnny, what dreadful hands to come
to the table with! Go and wash them,
sir. at Oncew Johnny gazes ruefully
mt what his elder sister calls his ''hOr-
rid paws" and wonders how they could
have acquired their dismal hue. 1t
is mystery. He started clean<in
the morning; ut least. he thought he
did. and he has only been to school.
Yet look ut his hands! Black as q
charcoal dealers. with nails fearful to
behold. hIany boys wonder. naturally
enough. how grown people keep their
hands clean all day without taking
much trouble about it. Boys handle
every thing. whether clean or dirty.
and half of them do not know how to
wash their hands. or how to wipe them
dry. Hands well-washed and perfectly
dried will keepclean four times as long
as hands half-washed and half-dried.
Nails. too. are much more easily kept
in good order if they are attended to
frequently and with care and thorou h.
ness.
Many. indeed, are the faults of the
hal;ds. One of the worst is pointing the
finger of scOrn at the faults of others.
Biting the thumb was the Italian
method of expressing contempt in the
days of Romeo and Juliet. the tragedy
of whose lives began with their servants
biting th ,ir thumbs ut one another. II
is with the hands that boys pinch.
scratch. fight and steal. Hamlet called
his hands ''pickers and stealers."
Bat. then, what beautiful and won-
derful things the hum IN hand can do!
what lovely pictures it can paint; what
enchanting music it can play; what val
liant deeds it can do; what kind acts it
ran perform! Best of all, it can lift up
the fallen. and welcome back to hope
and new effort the repentent wandcrcr
from the path of recitude. We said the
other week. that knowing teachers
often judge Of the quality of their pu-
pills by looking at their mouths. But
the hands, too, have tale to tell and
they tell very plainly

Toothsome Boiled Bread.

A writer in housekeeping journa,
affirms that bread can be boiled instead
of baking it and with far less heat of the
range. The new method consists
mainly in steaming the dough instead
of cooking it in the oven. 1t is claimed
that this is great invention, rs il
saves the time and experience neccs.
sary to get the oven to the right heat
for baking, which has always proved
the great obstacle to baking ut home.
The utensils required are simply these:
First tin mould. or camp-kettle. in
which the dough is placed after it has
been mixed with the usual ingredients
water, yeast, sugar and salt-and
secondly. larger tin saucepan, into
which the mould fits. The water in the
outer saucepan is allowed to boil around
the tin mould for two or three hours.
the lids Of both utensils being kept
closely down and Mt the end Of that
time the loaf may be turned out. II
will be found firm. solid and palatable
with all the qualities Of good bread

WONDERFUL TOWERS.
Some OF the Most Remarkable Structures
of The Kind In the World.

of the Kind In the World.
The ancient city of Pisa, Italy. is fa-
NOUS for its lofty and magnificent
structures. some OF which have very in
,crcstin% stories. None of them. how
ever, is so wonderful as the celebrated
leaning tower. This building way
commenced in 1l74 by IL Pisan archi-
tecs. named BONANZA, by William OF
Innspruck. Il is of cylindrical form.
one hundred and scveaty-nine feet
high. fifty feet in diaiueter. and leans
twelve feet nine inches from the per-
pen,!icular. Itcons;sts of eight stories.
each of which has an outside gallery
projecting from it. From the summit.
which is reached By several hundred
steps, beautiful and extensive view
may re had of the surrounding coun-
try. The miscon>trnction was discov-
cred before the tower was finished, and
the upper tiers were so shaped rs to
partly cOunter;,ct the arcutation. At
the top of the tower seven immense
bells were SO placed, as by their
weight, to cOun:crbalance the leaning
of the tower.
The highest tower in the world is nj
Cremona, in Northern Italy; it is three
hundred and ninety-six feet high. II
was begun in 1928, and the bells which
are in it were east in 1873. An astro-
nomical clock. made in the year 1894,
is placed in the third story.
The Florentine can,panile was COM
menced in 1884. by Giotto. the great
painter, architect and sculptor. He
commenced the erection Of the tower
with the determination to surpass all
the ancient structure, of this kind, both
in height and in richness of design.
But Giotto. having died in 1896. the
tower was completed by Taddeo Galdi.
Its height is two hundred and seventy
six feet, and it is divided into four tiers
1t is of equal dimensions from bottom
to top. and is built Oh the Italian Goth
ic style. On the basement floor there
are two rows Of tablets in relief; they
are the work of Giotto. There are also
E.any beautiful statues on the upper
tier. 1t was the original design Of
GiOtto to have spire surE,ount the
present tower. and the columns which
were to support it may still be seen ON
the top of the building.
The famous tower known as Giralda.
is situated at Seville. Spain. This tower
when originally Luilt by Philip Cue
var,. the Moor, was only two hundred
and fifty feet high. But in 1868 mag
nificent belfry one hundred feet high
was added. and it is now the second
highest in the world.
The eampanile was called Giralda.
because Of the brazen weathercock in
its top story. Although the figure
weighs ton and a half, it is easily
turned by the wind. 1t is said that =
very fine campanile was situated at
England. 1t is supposed to
have been two hundred feet high. and
was probably destroyed BY Sir Thomas
Wyatt. the younger. while leading an
